Description

A kind of method of air separation
Technical field
The present invention relates to air separating method, particularly adopt the method for condensation-evaporation mode separation of air.
Background technology
Conventional air separating method is with air liquefaction, utilize the difference of component boiling points such as oxygen in the air, nitrogen, argon, separate with the low-temperature fractionating tower oxygen that the air mid-boiling point is higher (normal boiling point 90.17K) nitrogen (normal boiling point 77.35K) lower and argon (normal boiling point 87.219K) etc., obtain the product such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon of required purity with boiling point.
For obtaining the recovery rate of pure oxygen and raising oxygen, generally adopt two stage rectification.Traditional air separation two stage rectification tower is by last, following tower is formed, as shown in Figure 1, a is pressure column (also claiming tower down) among the figure, b is lower pressure column (also deserving to be called tower), s is a condenser/evaporator, its operation principle is: handle raw air premenstruum (premenstrua) of band certain pressure and precooling after bottom the 1 input pressure tower a that enters the mouth, rise along tower internals (column plate or filler), with contact closely along the dirty phegma of tower internals, carry out heat, the matter exchange, make low boiling component (nitrogen) gasification in the liquid phase enter gas phase, and high boiling component (oxygen) condensation in the gas phase enters liquid phase, therefore the continuous enrichment of nitrogen component in the gas uphill process, nitrogen purity has reached requirement (generally more than 99.99%) when arriving cat head, and the middle oxygen content of still liquid (oxygen-enriched liquid air) is not very high (generally containing oxygen 35~40%) at the bottom of the tower.The oxygen-enriched liquid air of pressure column bottom is exported from exporting 9, and secondary rectifying is carried out from the 6 input lower pressure column b that enter the mouth in the decompression back.After the secondary rectifying, lower pressure column top output nitrogen product, lower pressure column bottom its purity of aggregation liquid oxygen has reached requirement (generally more than 99.6%).In the process, the overhead reflux liquid of pressure column and lower pressure column provides by condenser/evaporator s.Condenser/evaporator is arranged between pressure column and the lower pressure column and (is positioned at the lower pressure column place), it has one group of heat exchanger, its effect is that the nitrogen at pressure column top is drawn and is condensed into liquid nitrogen from exporting 2, this liquid nitrogen is from exporting 7 outputs, wherein a part participates in rectifying from the 8 input pressure tops of tower that enter the mouth as the pressure column phegma, and another part decompression back participates in secondary rectifying from the 5 input lower pressure column tops that enter the mouth as the lower pressure column phegma.The nitrogen condensation is an exothermic process, and the heat of release makes the liquid oxygen gasification of lower pressure column bottom, and from exporting 3 outputs, another part participates in rectifying as the rising steam of lower pressure column bottom to a gained oxygen part as oxygen product.Because the boiling point of nitrogen is lower than the boiling point of oxygen under uniform pressure, so if the operating pressure of pressure column and lower pressure column is identical, then heat can't be passed to the oxygen side of high temperature from the nitrogen side of low temperature, realize the nitrogen condensation of above-mentioned pressure column top, lower pressure column bottom oxygen evaporating course, must improve the nitrogen lateral pressure, the nitrogen boiling point is improved and the realization condensation, and will keep certain heat transfer temperature difference.If lower pressure column bottom liquid oxygen evaporation average operating pressure is 0.136Mpa (absolute pressure), mean temperature difference is 0.8K, then require the condensing pressure of pressure column top nitrogen to remain on more than the 0.5Mpa (absolute pressure), consider the resistance of air treatment facility in early stage and pipeline, the pressure at expulsion of final raw air machine will reach 0.53Mpa (absolute pressure) at least, and this is the most dominant energy consumption of this air-separating plant.So the air-separating plant energy consumption of traditional upper and lower tower structure is bigger.

The invention will be further described below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is prior art air separation rectifying column structure and schematic flow sheet;
Fig. 2 is air separation of the present invention condensation evaporation column structure and a schematic flow sheet.
Be labeled as among the figure: 1 inlet, 2 outlets, 3 outlets, 4 expanded airs inlet, 5 inlets, 6 inlets, 7 outlets, 8 inlets, 9 outlets, a pressure column, b lower pressure column, s condenser/evaporator; The P pressure column, L lower pressure column, the import of A raw air, B reservoir compartment, the outlet of C oxygen product, the import of D oxygen-enriched liquid air, E nitrogen products export, the F gas-liquid separator, the import of K expanded air, No. zero outlet of C0, an outlet of C1, Cn N number outlet, R0 No. zero import, an import of R1, Rn N import, V0 No. zero valve, valve of V1, Vn N valve, Vd liquid air valve.
In the work, after raw air enters pressure column P, as the rising steam along conducting heat to lower pressure column L by tower internals in tower internals (metal fin) uphill process, the uprising gas partial condensation becomes the phegma of pressure column, and the phegma of lower pressure column partly evaporates and becomes its rising steam, and the distillation process of pressure column and lower pressure column just can continue to carry out like this. In gas-liquid two-phase close contact process, lower boiling nitrogen component is constantly evaporated and is entered gas phase in the liquid phase, and the simultaneously higher continuous condensation of oxygen component of gas phase mid-boiling point enters liquid phase. The top of pressure column obtains the purity nitrogen of purity more than 99.99%, and the bottom obtains oxygen content and is about 35% oxygen-enriched liquid air. This oxygen-enriched liquid air carries out secondary rectifying by the rear input of liquid air valve Vd decompression lower pressure column middle part as raw material. Pressure column is sent into input lower pressure column top after separating the liquid nitrogen decompression of obtaining except the top condensation and through gas-liquid separator F, participate in outside the secondary rectifying as the lower pressure column phegma, pressure column also causes lower pressure column as the lower pressure column phegma in rectifying section after a height equivalent to a theoretical stage (plate) is with the decompression of partial reflux liquid.
The closing setting arranged side by side and mutual of pressure column of the present invention and lower pressure column, lower pressure column bottom liquid oxygen can utilize the heat of pressure column bottom oxygen-enriched air condensation release and evaporate, divide rectifying column to compare with the sky of the upper and lower tower structure of tradition, the concentration difference of condensation evaporation tower media of both sides of the present invention reduces, become oxygen enrichment (gas) condensation and pure oxygen (liquid oxygen) evaporation by purity nitrogen (nitrogen) condensation and pure oxygen (liquid oxygen) evaporation, the operating pressure of condensation side (being pressure column) is descended, reach energy-conservation purpose. If lower pressure column bottom liquid oxygen evaporating pressure is that 0.136Mpa (absolute pressure) and both sides (pressure column-lower pressure column) heat transfer temperature difference are 0.8K, pressure column bottom operating pressure is reduced to about 0.32Mpa (absolute pressure), when determining the raw air pressure at expulsion because counting the resistance of pressure column, so finally the pressure at expulsion of raw air can be dropped to about 0.35Mpa (absolute pressure), reach the purpose that cuts down the consumption of energy.
The operating temperature of pressure column and lower pressure column depends on the boiling point of its medium, and the boiling point of medium is relevant with operating pressure and concentration of component, so as long as the just operation of energy control tower of the operating pressure of two towers of control. The operating pressure of lower pressure column depends on the flow resistance of the gas discharge process such as oxygen, nitrogen, this resistance is substantially definite when design, change little in the operation, the average operating pressure of general lower pressure column is about 0.14Mpa (absolute pressure), so the temperature of each height section of lower pressure column changes with component, is the boiling point of oxygen under this operating pressure at the bottom of the tower, cat head is the boiling point of nitrogen, the centre is the boiling point of each section component, and relatively stable needn't deliberately controlling. And the operating temperature of pressure column has determined the heat transfer temperature difference to lower pressure column, this heat transfer temperature difference determines the size of condensation number and evaporation capacity, namely determine the quality of condensation evaporation tower operation, so the operating pressure of pressure column is most important operating parameter, the raw air absolute pressure of input pressure tower of the present invention is 0.30~0.35Mpa.
The present invention has not only reduced the operating pressure of the operating pressure while energy automatic pressure regulation tower of pressure column, its regulation mechanism is as follows: take when the operating pressure of pressure column is higher than institute, the corresponding raising of the boiling point of medium meeting in the pressure column, the temperature of the each point of lower pressure column is metastable as mentioned above, like this, because improving, the temperature of pressure column will make the heat transfer temperature difference of two towers big, the condensation number of medium in the pressure column is increased, but the discharge capacity of raw material air compressor machine is fixed, just make the pressure drop of pressure column, on the contrary, such as the hypotony of pressure column, then the temperature difference reduces to make the medium condensation number to reduce, and the operating pressure of pressure column gos up, finally can autobalance arrive required operating pressure, keep the minimum heat transfer temperature difference between two towers.
The present invention is owing to the tower internals (metal fin) as heat transfer element has big specific area and all can arrange this tower internals on whole height of tower, so the heat transfer area between two towers is very big, make the minimum temperature difference between two towers can maintain quite little level, even can be less than 0.3K, the operating pressure of pressure column can further reduce like this.
The a little higher than lower pressure column of the temperature of pressure column forms heat transfer temperature difference. Medium in the pressure column by tower internals constantly to the medium transferring heat of lower pressure column side, because the medium in two towers all is in saturation state, so condensation constantly takes place in the medium in the pressure column, build-up of pressure reflux in tower liquid surplus, on the contrary, medium in the lower pressure column is heated and constantly evaporates, cause the phegma deficiency, for solving this contradiction, extraction force tower variable concentrations of the present invention position (described No. one the outlet, No. two the outlet ... with N number outlet corresponding position) unnecessary liquid, input lower pressure column corresponding concentration position replenishes the lower pressure column phegma after the decompression.
The part that expanded air of the present invention input lower pressure column, this expanded air can be used as raw air enters lower pressure column and participates in rectifying, also can form one independently kind of refrigeration cycle only do not participate in rectifying for device provides the cold of cryogenic conditions.
